¿Pueden los estudiantes hispanos hablar chino?                            ¡Sí!

西班牙裔學生可以說中文嗎？                                                                      是！

We are very proud of our Mandarin World Language program and we have three successful years of students who have been able to retain their native Spanish at home, while learning both English and Mandarin in our language immersive program at San Miguel Ave Elementary School. 

Videos of our successful six-year-old students speaking Mandarin, as well as parent endorsements, are below.

A Mexican student in LAUSD who started learning Mandarin in Kindergarten and kept going into High School got a full scholarship ($200,000 value) into USC, University of Southern California as a result. This is his story (and possibly yours!).
